Title: Berry Bug is available!
Post by: Jason on 01/11/11 17:23 UTC
The Berry Bug is now available in one or two cavities.  Just select the cavities you want (one is default).  If ordering 3 or more you will still get the quantity discount when you check out.

Looks Awesome! This is gonna be my next mold for sure! Reminds me of BBB's fighting frog.

I have stared at this bait for hours. It looks phenomenal! Has anyone here used this bait? If you have how was your results?

I have the small Berry Bug and it is super!!! (I have two molds...that tells you something!).

I use it a lot as:
1. Slop bait. Slowly buzz it across the top...let it fall of the end of the weeds. With just a hook it has neutral buoyancy.Insert some of Jason's floating foam and it would float really well.
2. On a jig head...kind of like fishing the Toad. Cast to the edge of the weeds. Let it sink...and as soon as you start to retrieve it...bam!
3. Flip bait on a heavy jig....those two curl tails look fantastic on the fall!
4. Even as a trailer...

I had some outstanding evenings throwing this bait up into the weeds and lilly pads. The bass pound it...and the small northern pike hit it so hard they often knock it 3+ feet through the air!

Like I mentioned....I like to use it as a slow, low noise buzz type bait

The mold injects really well and always makes a nice bait. I'm working on some laminates now...Watermelon-red flake on the top.... chartreuse (electric snot) on the bottom.

Very good looking bait indeed.  Well designed.  The problem with Jason's baits is trying to figure out which one to order. -- Toad; no, Berry Bug; no, Birch Bug; no, Swim Shad; no, on and on it goes.

It wasn't until I read these posts that I realized how much that Berry Bug looks like a Swimming Frog.  The Forward Flappers look like a Frog's front legs tucked back when they swim...then the C-Tails do the Kickin'.  That's a versatile bait!  I may pick one of the Bigger Berry Bug molds up for a bigger Frog imitation.  I'd stick some eyes on it then dip it!
